Aesthetic Fillings & Bonded Restorations

At our practice we are primarily focused on helping our patients to maintain a healthy functioning dentition for life. However we are also acutely aware of the importance of a beautiful smile and so we have transitioned over the years to almost exclusively providing aesthetic tooth coloured restorations for our patients. From the smallest freehand restoration to the rebuilding of a worn dentition with bonded restorations with the help of some truly gifted dental technicians.

​Modern dental materials enable us to rebuild worn  or damaged teeth in our surgery by carefully bonding composite to the teeth, shaping that composite and polishing it to give long lasting and aesthetic results.

Case Studies

Tooth Wear

Sometimes teeth are a little mis shaped or a little worn and need some cosmetic improvement.

When the amount of improvement is minor we may want to be a little more conservative and not prepare the teeth for crowns.

In these Cases we can do some composite bonding which gives a lovely result without being too hard on the tooth.

The colour of the teeth improves over the first few days as things settle and the teeth rehydrate from the saliva following treatment.

Composite Bonding

When we first met this lady, she was most unhappy with the appearance of her front teeth to the extent that she was considering removing them.

She had had them repaired several times but each time they broke. But, sometimes things are not as they seem. Her teeth were constantly breaking because she had lost some back teeth, her bite had changed and her front teeth were doing all the work.

After several visits with our wonderful hygienist Aisling this lady began to love her teeth again and started to take great care of them. We then replaced the missing back teeth with an implant prosthesis which allowed us to return her bite to her original one which in turn allowed us to repair her broken teeth with composite bonding.

We will be keeping in touch with each other as composite will wear over time and we may look at replacing the composite with ceramic crowns.
